Herb ...prostrate. Leaves elliptic oblong subsessile, appressed silky,acute to obtuse at base and also at apex. Flowers axillary, pedunculate.. Corolla blue rarely white.Around a cm size.Leaf size I hope Upto 2cm bye 0.3to 0.5cm.
Everything is visible in your pictures.
It is Evolvulus alsinoides 'Vishnukrant'
Bye the way side view of the flower is missing as against in almost all of your posts(Consider this as a compliment han) and the leaf in the background of close upshots belong to some other plant I hope.

Satish ji This was taken a year back. At that time not having enough knowledge of photography

I agree.As it is it would be difficult to remember taking sideview of such a small flower for most. Many of my pictures also do not show many characters. You are the person who is showing most of the characters in most of the posts so I just mentioned it because I came to know it only when I was reading the description of calyx from books.

At that time I was in National integration Camp of National Cadets Corps (NCC). and have to control about 200 cadets every time. So always in haste and little time for pics. Still in that stay of 12 days in Tirupati i shot about 400 sp and i recall that folder to post from them also now.
